NYPD arrests anti-Israel protester who called to eject ‘Zionists’ from subway car
[IsraelTimes] Anas Saleh, 24, charged with attempted coercion after widely circulated footage showed man matching his description yelling, ‘Raise your hand if you’re a Zionist’ on packed carriage

The man was named by the New York Police Department as Anas Saleh, 24, according to the New York Jewish Week.

A video showing him leading protesters in chanting, "Raise your hand if you’re Zionist" on a packed subway car on June 10 drew widespread condemnation from public officials and prompted New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to propose banning masks on the subway.

She and others said the chant was antisemitic and intended to frighten Jews. At least one person who was aboard the train complained to police, authorities said.

The New York Post reported that Saleh turned himself in after the NYPD released a photo of him wearing a keffiyeh, the colors of the Paleostinian flag and sunglasses, and asked the public to come forward with information.

He was given a desk appearance ticket requiring him to appear in court at a later date, a police spokesperson said. A phone message left at a number listed for the suspect was not returned. It was not clear if he had an attorney.

A spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg
...Soros-owned and operated Manhattan DA. Putting vicious and blood-thirsty criminals in jail only makes them unhappy, and they've led such hard lives after all...
said the episode remains under investigation and anyone with information should contact authorities.

The incident aboard the train took place as a large group of anti-Israel protesters left a rally in Manhattan’s Union Square to head to another demonstration outside an exhibit commemorating victims of the Hamas October 7 massacre at the Supernova music festival in southern Israel. The rampage at the festival left 360 dead, with over 40 taken hostage.

Hundreds of protesters descended into the subway station, some banging on drums and chanting, "We will free Paleostine!"

The sudden flood of passengers created a temporary traffic jam on the platform. Police delayed some trains. Protesters sprayed graffiti on some of the subway cars.

Inside one of the delayed cars, a man — who was not wearing a mask — used the "mic check" chanting system popularized during the 2011 Occupy Wall Street protests to relay messages to other protesters.

"Mic check. There’s a baby on board," he said, according to video of the incident.

Then the man says, "Mic check. Repeat after me. Raise your hand if you’re a Zionist." He then added, "This is your chance to get out."

Fellow protesters, some wearing face coverings, repeated the call for Zionists to raise their hands. No one aboard the crowded car appears to raise a hand. "OK, no Zionists. We’re good," the man said, smiling.

Elected officials pointed to the incident as an example of antisemitism at anti-Israel demonstrations over the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, which was sparked when thousands of Hamas-led Lions of Islam burst across the border into Israel on October 7, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 251 hostages, mostly civilians, many amid acts of brutality and sexual assault.

"These are reprehensible and vile comments," New York City Mayor Eric Adams
...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a few of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
, a Democrat, said at the time. "I and every New Yorker who stands for peace stand united against them."Hochul, also a Democrat, appeared to refer to the incident at a June 13 news conference in which she proposed banning people from wearing masks on the subway system, unless they were doing so for health or religious reasons.

"We will not tolerate individuals using masks to evade responsibility for criminal or threatening behavior," she said. The man who led protesters in the chant was not wearing a mask, but some people who repeated it were.

Neither Hochul nor state politicians have taken any public action to ban face coverings on public transportation since Hochul suggested it.

Face coverings were mandated on the subway system during most of 2021 and 2022 to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and many riders still wear them to protect themselves and others from infection.
